While many people think about surge damage during severe weather season, the truth is that surges do not have a season – they attack your equipment all year-round and you need to have surge protectors to keep your valuable electronics safe.

Today I was a guest on KMTV’s Morning Blend show where we discussed real examples of surge damage that Schrock Innovations has repaired in their Service Centers and how you can keep your equipment safe.

Last year my TV got destroyed during a thunder storm. Since then I’m using a surge protector for my stereo, PC and TV. The only thing is, there are so many different models out there, some are really cheap, others are quite expensive. How can I now, the equipment I’m using is really capable of protecting my electronic devices?

I’ve always considered surge protection to be extremely important too, especially for sensitive or costly equipment like computers. I connect an UPS to the mains and plug a surge protector in one of the UPS sockets.

Another great segment for your Thor! Lots of great little nuggets of knowledge that you gave. Didn’t’ know the surge protectors were measured in Joules. Pretty nice that the surge protectors that you have chirp to alert you that they no longer effective.
